6) independant fan website - Zoebell.com

Zoebell.com is an amateur fansite for stuntwoman and actress who has starred in films such as Tarantino's 'DeathProof' and been a stunt double for Uma Thurman amongst others. The website is significant as it has been made by fans for fans and would not be possible without the current democratisation on the web.
The site offers video clips, audio clips, forums, pictures, as well as links to other sites. The film mainly appeals to cult film fans as well as people who take a special interest in action films. Web users might use the site to keep tabs on what Zoe is starring in next as well as discussing things about Zoe in the forums with other fans.
The site also has links to more major websites such as Amazon where you can buy films relating to Zoe such as 'Double Dare' a documentary in which she stars, showing a use of convergence. Websites like this are important as it means that certain actors and artists, can be promoted, even though they are not 'big stars'.
